Oh, there you are!

11 November 2010

What are we? The psych and pissed bus?

Just one of those days really, while others got some good work,

20M - At a drop in center with blood on his pants. Yeah like old washed blood, there was no injury Services not Required.

66F - Has been battling a chest infection for three days but had three syncopal episodes this morning while talking to her daughter.

35F - Has also been fighting respiratory symptoms and today coughed the wrong way and hurt her back?

64F - Depressed, feels like she can't keep going but doesn't want to harm herself just wants a talk to the mental health team.

??M - Self harmed with scissors and then buggered off. Police were still looking when we left.

57F - IP in womens refuge, not allowed, has to be medically cleared by Dr before they will accept her back.

42M - Regular IP who just needs a bed. Missionbeat fixed him up when we called them.

31F - OD in another womens refuge, same deal.

51F - IP, abusive, depressed non compliant, call in the cops and put on our mechanical restraints and then load onto the stretcher.

These two both required use of our powers under the Mental Health Act.

Not long now, the total shifts done each year by an officer after six weeks holidays would be 144. Today was 136 and 1034 jobs done for the shift average of 7.60

See you at the big One.
